"Who's coming?" The doorman stopped the three of them at the door.

Lu Gaozhi didn't speak, just took out the token in his hand.

Outside the door, he shivered, "It turned out to be the prime minister, how offended, please forgive me!"

"Can I go in now?"

"Wait a minute! I'll go and tell you!"

Lu Gaozhi nodded.

After a while, the doorman came out and said, "Prime Minister, you can go in!"

The three of them walked into the palace, and the grandeur in front of them made Zhang Zezhen feel like a pheasant had become a phoenix......

"Look, where did that village girl come from? Huh." The palace maids who came and went saw it and laughed in a low voice.

"That's right, and I'm still with Xiao Junshi, hum!"

"Xiao Junshi is mine, how can she match a village girl?"

Zhang Zezhen listened to the gossip around her, she has long been used to it, these people who have no vision are destined to become servants, but they are different.

"What's wrong? Hear someone say that about you? Unhappy, right? It's okay! Call out to brother, brother will be angry for you!"

Xiao Tian's cynicism made Zhang Zezhen feel that this was really a good opportunity.

She didn't shy away from suspicion, and pulled the corner of Xiao Tian's clothes and said loudly, "Brother Xiao, some people say that I am a village girl, what can I do?"

This sentence "Brother Xiao" startled Xiao Tian and Lu Gaozhi.

They stopped her just in time: "O ancestors! This is in the palace, you can't mess around, you know?"

"Oh! Got it, Master!"

However, this coquettish voice attracted the jealousy of the surrounding palace maids.

"She actually called General Xiao's brother just now!"

"Did I hear me wrong?"

"This!"

Zhang Zezhen looked at them with a smug face.

Xiao Tian also kept his promise, glaring at the palace maid who had just spoken with murderous eyes.

They were all silent.

"Okay, you're waiting for me here, and you can't leave here for half a step without an order, you know?"

"Got it!"

"Xiao Tian, you must watch this little girl, if something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks!"

"Yes! Prime Minister Lu!"

Then, he gave her a look, Zhang Zezhen looked at Xiao Tian unconvinced, and the two fell silent again.

Lu Gaozhi entered the emperor's imperial study.

"The courtier's road is high, see the emperor!"

"Prime Minister Lu, please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister Lu, I heard that you have found an important person, who is it?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister found Jin Xiliang!"

"What? Where is he?"

"Your Majesty, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to the ministers come one by one."

"Say it!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, now that Jin Xiliang and his son Jin are together, there will be no danger to their lives at present."

"That's good! When will he be able to return to the palace to see me?"

"This?"

"What's wrong?"

"With all due respect, with Jin Xiliang's current physical condition, even if he can come to see you, it will be difficult for him to serve the imperial court anymore."

"What the hell happened to him? Prime Minister Lu, tell me quickly!"

"He was sealed in a secret room for 20 years, and now he is basically unable to speak, and his body is even more skinny, and he even struggles to walk, like a wasted person!"

"Who did this? How dare you treat my imperial chef like this? Who gave him the right!"

"Now the news that the minister already knows is that he was being held captive by a man named Xu Mingyuan, who lives in Taoyuan Village. Now that this person has hanged himself, we haven't asked any valid clues, only that he has been looking for the secret recipe for Feng Fei's wish."

"Feng Fei's wish is a royal dish, a commoner in his small village

How do you know this recipe?"

"In the process of looking for Jin Xiliang, Jin Yu has been lurking beside this Xu Mingyuan, as far as he knows, Xu Mingyuan has been clinging to the officials of the imperial court, but he doesn't know who it is."

"You must find this person, a dignified court official, who actually colluded with ordinary people, defrauded the royal dishes, and dared to imprison the palace chef privately, it is really against him!"

"Obey! There's one more important thing to report to you!"

"Say! What's the matter?"

"On the way to find Jin Xiliang, the minister met a woman who would make a phoenix flying wish."

"Oh? How did she get it?"

"It was given by Jin Xiliang's sister, so it's a long story. The problem at the moment is that her husband Xu Yue is imprisoned in the Tianzi prison, and I hope the emperor can rescue him!"

"Her husband? Locked up in a prison? What crime did he commit? Locked up at the feet of the Imperial City?"

"He didn't commit any crime, it's just that the minister of the court that Xu Mingyuan colluded with did in order to threaten the woman."

"Is there such a thing? Who the hell is it? Don't even care about me, the emperor?" The emperor slapped his hand on the board fiercely, "Give you a month, you must find this person for me!" I'm going to punish him for the Nine Clans!". c

"Yes! Wechen obeyed!"

"Prime Minister Lu, where is that woman now?"

"She and General Xiao Tianxiao are right outside the door."

"Spread! I want to see her."

Zhang Zezhen, who was standing outside the door, was admiring the flowers with Xiao Tian, and the two of them teased from time to time.

At this moment, a eunuch came to give the order.

"General Xiao!"

"Grandpa Xu!"

"The emperor asked you to take this girl in with you."

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Let's go! The emperor called us."

"Ah, no sign at all?"

Before Zhang Zezhen could react, he was pulled in by Xiao Tian.

"Weichen Xiao Tian, meet the emperor, the emperor"

"General Xiao, please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Tian stood up and saw Zhang Zezhen standing there next to him, and couldn't help but give her a look.

Zhang Zezhen understood what Xiao Tian meant, but she didn't know how to salute the emperor, at this time, she could only blame herself for not watching a few more costume dramas, otherwise, she wouldn't be so embarrassed now!

Xiao Tian saw that she didn't react, so he leaned in and whispered, "Kneel!"

She understood these two words, she "poof", knelt directly on the ground, and then followed Xiao Tian's appearance and said, "Meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

When the emperor saw this girl, he thought it was very interesting, although the etiquette was vulgar, but the personality was very cute.

"Flatten!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Zezhen stood up, she saw the worry on the teacher's face, probably because she was afraid that she would be blasted out by the emperor.

"What's your name?"

"Zhang Zezhen!"

"Listen to Prime Minister Lu, will you make a Fengfei wish?"

"Will do!"

"How long have you been studying?"

She thought about it for a moment, then snapped her fingers and said, "Two hours!"

"What? Two hours? Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!" Lu Gaozhi also laughed, but he turned his head and said to the disciple, "You girl, don't talk nonsense!"

"Teacher, I'm not talking nonsense! It's two hours, and that's not counting the time to buy groceries and the time to study secret recipes."

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly calmed down, he looked at the girl incredulously, and confirmed again: "Is this true?"

"Really! It really can't be more real!"

"Are you sure you're doing the authentic Fengfei Wish?"

"I'm sure, I don't believe you

Ask Mr. Lu, he has eaten my cooking."

"Really?" The emperor looked at the road and stopped.

"If you go back to the emperor, the Fengfei wish made by Zhenzhen is indeed genuine, the taste is wonderful, and the effect is immediate."

"That's good! I believe you, how about you cook this dish for today's dinner?"

"No problem!"

"Good!"

"But, Your Majesty! If I'm ready to eat, will you save my husband?"

"Yes! I remembered that Prime Minister Lu mentioned it to me just now. I heard that your husband is being imprisoned in the Tianzi prison?"

"Yes, that's what Xu Mingyuan said anyway. And he said, it's too late, and my husband will be executed! Your Majesty, you must save him!"

"Execution? How is this possible? Without an order from the Ministry of Punishment, how could it be a private punishment?"

"Your Majesty, according to the construction of the ministers, it is important to save people, if you are really executed, it will become a joke of the court, if the people of Li know about it, who can still submit to the court?"

"What the Prime Minister said is very true." The emperor thought about it and decided that it would be better to solve the current matter first.

"Prime Minister Lu, go to the Tianzi Prison with me, and find the people first!"

"Obey!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Zezhen's face immediately showed a childlike smile.

The prison of the Criminal Department.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"The emperor is here! The emperor is here!" Several of the guards of the prison quickly stood up.

"See the Emperor!" Everyone spoke in unison.

"Where is Yuan Guang, the servant of the Criminal Department? Didn't I tell him to go? What about people?"

"The emperor is angry, Yuan Shilang is on his way, and he will be there soon!"

"Then do you mean: let me wait for him with the prime minister and the general?"

"No, no, the small ones are going to urge, this is going to be urged!"

The guards quickly rushed out to find someone.

Zhang Zezhen didn't have time to care about others, she kept looking around, wondering where Xu Yue was being held.

"Don't worry, we're already here, and the emperor will definitely save him!" Xiao Tian comforted.

"Hmm!"

"It's coming, it's coming, the squire of the criminal department is here!"

Yuan Guang trotted all the way, exhausted and panting, and knelt directly in front of the emperor.

"Long live the emperor......

"That's it! I have something important to ask you! Is there a person named Xu Yue in this heavenly prison?"

"Xu Yue?" Yuan Guang thought for a moment with a puzzled look and said, "I haven't heard of it!"

"I haven't heard of it, so I'll go and check it out, what do I keep you waste every day?"

"Yes, yes, Weichen will go and check." Yuan Guang stood up and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry, hurry! Bring me the prisoner details!"

"I guess I just sent it recently!" Zhang Zezhen added.

"Who is this?"

"Hurry up and check the recent ones! So much nonsense!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Yuan Guang said again and again, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Ah, I found it, there is indeed a person named Xu Yue, who is guilty of stealing!"

Yuan Guang took the roster and showed it to the emperor, and everyone came over, "It's my husband!"

After it was confirmed, the emperor said to Yuan Guang, "Do you know that this is a Tianzi prison?"

"Yes, yes!"

"You know? Then you tell me, not to mention whether this Xu Yue has committed the crime of stealing for the time being, why is he just a thief in the Tianzi prison?"

"This, this, this Weichen, I don't know much about it......

"I don't think you want to do it! Hurry up and bring me to see this man!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yuan Guang ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up, hurry up and lead the way!"

The jailer next to him swallowed and said, "Great, my lord, that, I can't find ......."

"What do you mean?"

"Half an hour ago, this man was taken to the execution ground, and in half an hour, he will be executed!"

"What? How can an execution be carried out without my order?"

"Yes, you agreed."

"Fart! When did I agree? Why don't I remember Xu Yue?"

"Yesterday, I asked you, did a thief be executed on the day of execution? You, agreed!"

Yuan Guang recalled that he drank too much yesterday, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
